Default creating a directed graph from XY scatter

Would like to use XL to create a connected graph ( finance calls it a
binomial lattice). X axis iis the time period t=1,2,3,...T, Y is value.

XY scatter plots points OK. Need to connect points (nodes)--each node except
for t=T has two lines coming out of it.
A 3-peiod example is shown below. Eventually need to generalilze.

Data is
reference T Value
NOde 1... 0 100
NODE 2... 1 110
NODE 3... 1 90
NODE 4... 2 121
NODE 5... 2 100
NODE 6... 2 81

FOR NOW:
want a line to connect NODE 1 to NODE 2
want a line to connect NODE 1 to NODE 3
want a line to connect NODE 2 to NODE 4
want a line to connect NODE 2 to NODE 5
want a line to connect NODE 3 to NODE 5
want a line to connect NODE 3 to NODE 6

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Luke
